DIVINING RODS

△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△▽△

The fish of the world are near extinction from overfishing and improper fishing practices. After the god of fishing regrets the bestowing of its gift, it floods the world to start anew, but humanity perseveres. 

In this flooded world, you are a wanderer who can understand the spirits of long-gone fish. With this ability, learn from locals and shrines to restore fish populations by dancing with the spirits of fish in this flow-based rhythm fishing game.

Compatible with keyboard + mouse and XBOX controllers.

Made for UWSTOUT's Game Design Senior Capstone 2022.
